Additional balance note:

On TripleA I set all sides to the Fast AI to guarantee equal players. As you can see, the Allies clearly won:

Of course it can. It makes no difference that originally it was a neutral territory. Its current status is a territory of the United States and therefore, with an IPC value of two,it can be a location where a minor industrial complex can be placed.

@surfer thanks for that clarification

@MM1940 The airbase in S. Italy protects both SZ95 and SZ97–regardless of the land attacked. If an invader attempts an assault in either SZ, the aircraft in S. Italy can respond.

“A quick reaction team of no more than 3 defending fighters and/or tactical bombers (strategic bombers can’t scramble) located on each island or coastal territory that has an operative air base can be scrambled to defend against attacks in the sea zones adjacent to those territories. These air units can be scrambled to help friendly units in adjacent sea zones that have come under attack. They can also be scrambled to resist amphibious assaults from adjacent sea zones, whether or not the territory being assaulted is the territory containing the air base. They may defend against the enemy ships conducting the amphibious assault even if friendly ships are not present.”

@The-General-0 A quick US liberation of London assumes the German navy and its transports have been eliminated.Italy can throw a wrench into the allies plans as well.

That make sense, the result is no amphibious assault can take place.

Exactly. The Med ( and seizing and holding Egypt) is all about Navy.
Enjoy your games.,

Retreat is not possible from the land portion of an amphibious assault, but it is possible from the sea portion.  This is true in both this game and Classic.

The generals on the cover, from left to right, are Erwin Rommel (Germany), Vasily Chuikov (USSR), George Marshall (US), and George Patton (US).
